A Part Of You

by SandyJayOct 13, 2022
I took Flora’s Mix It Up challenge and used mixed media. My first time using gesso, using a toilet paper tube (hearts), and making a mess! I had my fingers in acrylic paint, trying to fix my mistakes. I used a water brush and Tim Holtz ink to age my journaling paper. I used up some cut file leaves that I didn’t need from another page. Most of all, what made me want to do this was the “twist”. I had a piece of fabric from my long-departed MIL. I had taken a photo of me in her shirt. The shirt she always wore, her favorite shirt, a part of her. Entered too, in KAREN_SUE’s journaling challenge. Thanks for looking!

I found the layout with the fabric! This brought a tear to my eye, such a heartfelt tribute. That bold check fabric must have been a little challenging to work with, but your embellishments and title balance it out beautifully. P.S. I should start saving toilet paper tubes!

A beautiful tribute layout. So rich in textured details and soothing in the B&W.

Your Mom obviously loved this shirt, and you loved her, so what a wonderful way to capture this tender memory. I am amazed you had the fabric! You did a great job with the paints and gesso, and love that notebook page!

LOVING the mix of black and white! Your mixed media is GREAT and I ABSOLUTELY that you included the piece of fabric from her shirt, with the picture of you wearing it. Your journaling is a bonus!
